"Worked well not serious problems"
Pros: Small size, great video, easy to use, easy to convert to DVD
Cons: Short battery life. Now camera will not respond to controls on start-up. Screen is only grainy static and distortions. Will not turn-off unless battery is pulled.
Summary: Purchased GZ-MG50U camera in 11/05. Took hours and hours of video without problem. In June, I had first experience with problem. On start-up, the view screen is only grainy distortions. It looks like a TV with bad reception. The camera controls will not work and the camera will not turn off. The battery must be pulled to turn off the camera.
The June episode lasted part of one day and I was able to tape without problem immediately after the problem went away. (Don?t know why it came or went away) I taped problem-free for hours after the problem went away.
The next experience, in August, with the problem came and went with one pull on the battery. Afterward, I was able to tape trouble-free. A week later, the problem reappeared and will not go away.
I tried to reset to default setting but the problem continues. Called JVC and was told to send it in to the repair shop.
The JVC FAQ lists a problem of ?camera not responding to controls?. The suggested solution did not resolve my problem.
Is this the start of another class action? I also had a Sony digital camera for which I an eligible in a class action to my recover costs of CCD repair and replacement.
I will update as this develops.
Great camera when it works!
